Justin Baldoni has opened up about the very public legal feud with his It Ends With Us co-star Blake Lively, claiming the dispute, which was settled months ago, was “deeply traumatic” but ultimately strengthened one of the most important relationships in his life: his marriage to his wife, Emily Baldoni.
In an emotional Instagram video shared on July 8, 2026, the actor-director reflected on nearly two years of staying quiet despite relentless public scrutiny and speculation. With Emily by his side, Baldoni explained that the couple deliberately chose not to comment while the legal process was underway, believing it was best to let the justice system run its course.
Justin Baldoni says he and Emily are ‘closer’ than ever
In the nearly five-minute video, Justin Baldoni said that he and Emily had often wanted to speak publicly but never felt the timing was right. The actor noted, “We have not spoken publicly for the better part of the last two years, and it’s not because we haven’t had anything to say… it just didn’t feel like the right time.” To this, Emily Baldoni added, “This feels like the moment,” acknowledging that the couple still had “so much to say.”
